As someone above me said, look at military. I did 4 years active duty and now uncle Sam is footing the bill for my flight training. 4 years may seem like a long time but, in the grand scheme of things it is not. You can realistically join when you are 28/29 and you'll be out when you're 33. If you h...

In the Youtube video above, at 1:43, what’s that cockpit sound that can be heard in the background of the pilot’s transmission? Edit: at 3:30 I’m hearing a background sound, not sure if it’s a cockpit sound, but the best way I can describe it is a rattlesnake-like sound. I hear it right at 3:30 and...

This has been discussed a lot at the university I go to in my aviation classes. The projections show it only getting worse. We already had a few of the regionals come to our classes to try and recruit us once we graduate. Luckily, I did the military first, so I have the GI bill to cover the majority...

I had already scanned thru that post however it doesnt answer my question. Is ORD-AMS still a 747 if not what cities in the US still see the 747 so I can plan my route. Yup, ORD-AMS is still a 744, 744M to be exact. Flew ORD-AMS-ORD this past December, first time on a 744, hopefully I can catch it ...

I flew KLAX-KORD-KLAX a few months ago on <acronym title="American Airlines (USA)">AA</acronym>. Both ways it was on one of their newer 738s. And I noticed that their reclining seats only recline the upper half of the seat. So your tray table doesn't move, as it is attached to the stationary lower p...

I have been reading this post often and watching CNNs coverage of this horrible event. And I was wondering, am I the only one that doesnt think that the "simpl" solution of having a <acronym title="Safair (South Africa)">FA</acronym> enter the flightdeck when one of the pilots leaves is the best sol...

Once the merger is fully complete, and they are under one certificate, is there any news as to what the airlines Europe structure will look like? Will they keep the destinations that US had that <acronym title="Aalborg (AAL / EKYT), Denmark">AAL</acronym> did not, such as Munich or Brussels? Adam

How did aircraft make it across the Atlantic without any of the aboveentioned systems? For instance, the early 737s didn't have any form of INS (I could be wrong on this), how would say, Lufthansa, get theirs delivered across from the US? Thank you

Just a quick question in regards to new 737NG's. From what I understand, the Collins <acronym title="Macapa - International (MCP / SBMQ), Brazil">MCP</acronym> is standard now on all 737NG's coming off the line. My question is, can an airline choose to have the Honeywell <acronym title="Macapa - Int...

Can anyone provide me with the delivery information, hopefully past flight aware data, on Norwegian air shuttles delivery procedures for their 737-800 aircraft? The probably go to ENGM? With a stop in between?

What happens to customer specific options after a merger of airlines with the same type aircraft? For instance SWA and AirTran? Is it possible to change those settings ( dual cue vs single cue <acronym title="Cityflyer Express (United Kingdom)">FD</acronym>, efis/map vs pfd/ nav, ect) after the airc...

Does anyone know what routing <acronym title="Scandinavian Airlines (Denmark/Norway/Sweden)">SK</acronym> uses to get their 737NGs from <acronym title="Seattle - Boeing Field / King County International (BFI / KBFI), USA - Washington">BFI</acronym>? I'm assuming ESSA? And is it a straight shot or is...

Does anyone know of UAL's longer term plans with the 737NG's the acquired from the merger with Continental? I have been looking around on flight aware and the picture database and it seems like for now they pretty much have them flying the same routes they where on while they belonged to Continental...

Does anybody have any information on <acronym title="Delta Air Lines (USA)">DL</acronym>'s plans for their new hub at KLGA? Are they planning on just boosting frequency of flights, or new routes all together? Challenging <acronym title="American Airlines (USA)">AA</acronym> and UAL on the <acronym t...

Me and my roommates just got into an argument about whether a plane can maintain altitude while in a 90 degree bank? I dont think the plane could because there would be no vertical component of lift to keep the plane at a constant altitude. But then i confused myself and realized, that you could use...

I have always been confused by all the <acronym title="Air Madagascar">MD</acronym>-80 variants. And now that i bought an aircraft for flight simming purposes that models the <acronym title="Air Madagascar">MD</acronym>-82, i have some questions regarding the <acronym title="Air Madagascar">MD</acro...

After years of reading on this great site, i finally got myself a membership today haha. One of the things that i like to do in flight simulator is a delivery flight with any new planes that i get. Yesterday i got a Md-80 and have chosen SAS as my airline. How did SAS get all of their Md-80s from Lo...
